How to run NASCAR in win95?

I'd like to run NASCAR in a shell (full screen ,but without having to boot to DOS). But when I try this NASCAR.EXE says not enough conventional memory and aborts. The memory figure that is on the screen is 400k something. Yet, when I type mem in the same window it shows over 600k free. I can run ICR2 with no problems. If I reboot to DOS NASCAR runs fine. Is there a fix so that NASCAR sees the correct amount of memory? Seems whatever code NASCAR uses to read available memory is not giving the correct answer. -- Markus Strobl

Although a few people have had success at running NASCAR 1.x under Win 95, we do not support it. the problems are too complex to get into here. However, the botom line is that you should bot to DOS. Ed Martin Producer, Series Director NASCAR Racing League Papyrus / Sierra On-Line, Inc.
